Brexit

On 31 January 2020 the UK has formally left the EU. During the transition period, the EU and the UK negotiated the details of their future relationship. At the end of December 2020, the EU Member States and the UK Parliament approved the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

Houthoff is keeping a close eye on the developments and consequences of Brexit so that we can advise you and your organisation on the challenges and opportunities that may arise from the negotiation results. Our Brexit experts are in close contact with legal experts in the UK.
